Persuasion

Worst Jane Austen adaptation I think I’ve ever seen. Persuasion is my favorite of her novels and that butchered it. The dialogue is cringe, Johnson should never been cast as Anne. It was a pretty movie though…if you watch it on mute you might like it. Henry Golding was perfect.

If you like the book, you probably won’t like this movie. It changes the characters completely and the original themes are almost completely forgotten.

However, if you haven’t read the book this could be a mildly enjoyable comedy.

6/10 I enjoyed this, don’t take it too seriously. If you are anticipating the perfection of 2005’s Pride & Prejudice you will be disappointed. I’d probably watch again.

the music design is enchanting at times and the visuals tell the story beautifully even when no words are spoken.
